Sony XPERIA 1 iii first impressions! Where MANY premium phones are getting rid of features, Sony stands as the most complete premium option on the market today. Improvements for the camera. Improvements for the audio. AND the most beautiful screen available on any phone. We have a LOT to chat about. Let's dig into the XPERIA!

to me as well, I already I have Xperia 5 II which is an easy recomendation but of course 2021 flagships are better while 2020 lineup for a cheaper price are easy recomendations as well (but 2020 1 II has a software imitation of 90 Hz screen which should be kept in mind even though I think it should be smooth enough)

That is a great phone and I don't want to hype you up but wait until you jump on the Sony gravy train. It's LG plus luxury. Sony phones are on another level of premium. I'm so excited for you! I left the Sony world to try another stupid Samsung (S10+) that broke in 8 months ($1,400 Black Ceramic 512GB) that I got for $1,000 through a sign up offer deal. Got a Sony 10+ to hold me through. I got interested in the Pixel 5 so tried this out and it's a good experience but very basic. Also very value oriented. Anyways I'm glad to be going back to the Sony Flagship experience. I've tried almost everything out there. The only gripes I have with Sony phones is No Wifi calling! Other than that it's pretty much perfection.

Exactly! The expandable memory on my Xperia 1 II is used for lossless music files and 4K videos, along with the headphone jack. Will only replace it with another Xperia with these features. Why should we accept the cut on features when paying for a premium product? I was kind of keen on the S21 Ultra until I heard it has no expandable memory slot. And nothing beats the alpha tech on the Xperia - when capturing action shots with eye AF.

I wish the Xperia 5 gets more coverage. The Xperia 1 is a great phone but it's also the most expensive and "enthusiast focused" as MKBHD said. The Xperia 5 looks and feels like the average consumer's ideal phone, imo, it only cuts the features that most won't even notice (4K, wireless charging and the ToF sensor). I see a lot of comments saying the X1 is too expensive and I'm afraid it might discourage people from checking out the X5 and X10. After losing LG, I want Sony to succeed more than ever.
@SomeGadgetGuy 3 жыл бұрын
I'm not bothered by expensive. That's kinda the point. This is the MOST phone Sony will sell, and it should be judged against THAT metric for an audience interested in buying that. We shouldnt be pretending that an S21 Ultra is a good phone for "average consumers" just because it's a couple hundred dollars cheaper on sale. That is also a NICHE device.

@@SomeGadgetGuy I don't mean to downplay the Xperia 1 at all. I think it's a great achievement for a phone - 4K 120Hz on a 6.6 inch display? It's incredible. But I feel like the Xperia 5 is being completely ignored here. The bigger tech KZfaq channels like MKBHD and Linus are focusing on the X1, and most people who don't follow tech very much rely on them for news. Then there's Arun (Mrwhosetheboss) who I feel was overly critical of them, and very unfair in his criticisms. In the middle of all this, the X5 isn't getting much attention, and I wish it did. It deserves more love, because I feel it suits average customers who don't want to go that far in their budget. The Xperia 1 is amazing, but it is a niche product. And the Xperia 5 has the longest "reach" in terms of price/performance. So yeah, I don't mean to say the ultimate flagships like Xperia 1 and Galaxy S21 Ultra don't deserve all the praise. I just want the more affordable models to also get some of that praise. MKBHD did a review for the S21 and praised Samsung for cutting features from the Ultra that most won't notice to achieve that affordable price. Just wish he (and more tech channels) did the same for Sony. P.S. Loved the video.

@tilakpatel69 3 жыл бұрын
This phone looks great, but it's certainly not for me! After buying high end LG phones for half price, I'm realizing now that I never really used the power and features that it offered. It was wasted potential. So its down to the mid range for me from now on and I am not ashamed! Your arguments are about getting real value from flagships are on point. Keep it up!

Your review is more informative than the other famous KZfaqr reviewer who's trash talking a phone's weakness. Can't even maintain too much "ENTHUSIAS" boring dialogue nyahaha 😹😹😹 BTW your input on something that Sony's needs improvement and tackling some problem that they should solve is wOw... Hope Sony or other phone manufacturer sponsor you, because IMHO you're one on unbias minority reviewers here that needs a boost of viewers and subscriber.... Have a good day 😸

@@SomeGadgetGuy your bias opinion is more tolerable than the big ones who's always mentioning plus praising Samsung and Apple's product only when they are having a reaction review or in-depth review to every product. Look Huawei they achieve a to be a top1 manufacturer their only downfall is being controlled stake of CPP government in company and the spying IP theft allegations... LG mobile huhuhu sad their ship sink, I thought they would merge with Sony mobile or getting buyout by Google for Pixel and to continue the survival. Oh well have a nice day anyway and more power, don't mind my dilly dallying stories👍😸

@@Sabundy Well, in that case can you explain why he gave smartphone of the year award to Oneplus devices two years in a row?? Why not to Samsung and Apple flagships? Are you now going to say that they have not paid him enough (via access and benefits as you claim) for getting that honour? It is pretty much easy to label a reviewer as biased and paid just because he did not endorse your 'precious' phone. People have different tastes and priorities when it comes to technology. It is as simple as that. In fact he named his review of the Xperia 1iii as 'The Ultimate Enthusiast Phone'. Looks much more like a compliment than an abuse.

Sony has made a beast of a phone! Some might say it the most enthusiastic phone (aka MKBHD) but it's actually a phone that has all the bells and whistles! The camera! I don't know how good it is!

One huge point with Xperias (and Sony devices in general) that doesn't get talked about enough is their quality and longevity. I'm still rocking an Xperia XZ2 Premium that's over two years old and works as well now as it did when it was new. The battery has held up amazingly well, it's still snappy, the speakers still sound good, and the 4k LCD still looks great. Not to mention, my 20 year old stereo, 22 year old home theater receiver, 17 year old discman (which has taken a beating), 5 year old handycam - all Sony products and still working well. For that reason alone, I will always choose a Sony device over a Samsung.

I'm usually a compulsive upgrader but my LG G8 is still doing so well for me that I can't let it go yet, and there's nothing to replace that headphone amp either. I just hope by the time I do have to upgrade, Sony is still making phones like this! I'm curious how long it will be though, in years past devices would start to feel pretty slow after a couple years. Now I've had this thing for 2 years and it still feels like it's faster than I need for anything and hasn't slowed down or lost battery capacity at all.

Just got this phone and it is the one designed for photographer. Ya gotta really check out the 4k screen in real time to admire it's beauty. The only downside of the phone is the puny 4500mAh battery which can be drained really fast by the 4k HDR oled screen. If only Sony has packed it with at least 6000mAh battery, we would not mind the extra weight of the phone can last a bit longer. Also, it is also tailored for audiophile with its numerous sound settings especially DSEE which can upscale the music quality using A.I.
